The Russian Car.

The car of Russia has been usually
pictured as of cold, tyrannical DISPOSE
ton, fit subject for the dynamiter's
bomb. A correspondent who has been
studying him lately gives more at
tractive representation of him, show
ing him to be a man of kindly heart
and of generous sympathies. He tells
of his holiday with his boys during a
visit to relatives in the Danish capital.
Here he throws off the cares of state
and roams by the seashore and sports
with his lads. An instance is also
given of his kindness to a hungry
woman with a starving child. Speak
ing roughly to her at first and dismiss
ing her he Immediately sent a messen-
ger after her with words of sympathy
and a tender of money, with the eX-
PLANTATION that he had been where
there was contagious disease, and
that he had acted as he did for fear of
communicating it. Such considerable
ness and care are praiseworthy. The
car is also described as being very
fond of music and skillful performer
himself finding in it rest and enjoy
ment. These glimpses of the sover-
eign give US better insight into his
character than former portraitures have
done. He evidently has his good side
as well as his bad.-PreSbyterian Oh

bird wished to descend, the wings were
for moment collapsed; and when
again expanded, with an altered incli-
nation, the momentum gained by the
rapid descent seemed to urge the bird
upwards with the even and steady
movement of a paper kite" There is
something attractive in such a specta-
Gle. The condor is known to soar far
above the loftiest peaks of the Andes,
which lift their snowy tops to elevations
four miles above the sea; indeed, it is
known to rise six miles in vertical
height-far above all ordinary clouds
and there, in that rarifed region, in
which human life could not exist, his
eagle eye surveys the world below in
search of his prey and finds in those
silent spaces of the sky his native air.
That company of three or four condors
can, and actually have, more than once
run down and killed one of the wild
cattle of the Pampas, first binding the
animal by destroying its sight, before
killing him, and dining off his carcass,
is fact which is said to have been wit
messed by those who have related the
story.-Hdrgord Times.

The Bird Of Lofty Flight.

Darwin, while watching long the
lofty flight of the Lammergsier's Ameri-
can cousin, the condor, in its great
circling sweep of enormous attitudes
above the Gillian plains, wondered at
the birds power of thus sailing, hour
after hour, in those great sweeping
circles without any apparent motion of
the outspread wings. He arrived at
the probably correct solution of the
puzzle-a puzzle which has bothered a
good many other observers in watching
the spiral flight of the eagle and the
red-tailed hawk. The extended wings
gave not single flap, but seemed to
form the fulcrum on which the move

territory, lying south of Kansas and
Colorado and between Indian Ter

A New Years Song.

The world Is full of mystery.
which no one understands
What is before our eyes we see,
The work of unseen hands;
But whence and when and why they wrought
Escapes the grasp of human thought.
There was n time when we were not,
And there will be again
When we must cease and be forgot,
With all our JOY and pain.
Gone like the wind or like the snow
That fell a thousand years ago.
We live as II we should not die,
Blndly, but wisely, too;
For II we knew death always nigh
What would we say or do
But fold our hands and close eyes,
And care more who lives or des2
If death to each man in his turn
Is coming, soon or late,
BE ours the soldiers unconcern
And his courageous fate.
Better to perish in the strife
Than to preserve a towards life,
Before my hearths fire bordering long,
As 'twere a bivouac,
heard last night this solemn song
Which have summoned back.
1t seems my SOmber MOOD TO cneer
And is my greeting to the year;
New Year If you bringing youth
As you are bringing age,
would not have It back, in sooth
have no strength to wage
Lost battles over. Let them be;
Bury your dead, O memory
You can bring nothing will surprise,
And nothing will dsmay;
No tears again in these old eyes,
No darkness in my day.
You might bring light and smiles instead
II you could give me back my dead
Ihave beheld your kiss, New Year,
Full fifty times, and none
That was so happy and so dear
wept when it done.
why should we weep when years depart
And leave their ashes in the heart?
Goodbye since you are gone, Old Year,
And my past life, goodbye;
shed no tear upon your bier,
For it is well to die
New Year, your worst will be my best,
What can an old man want but rest?
